The immediate sacking of Laura Kuenssberg from the BBC

The Issue

Over 30K people in the UK recently signed a 38 Degrees petition requesting the dismissal of Laura Kuenssberg from the BBC.

She is the BBC's political editor and has been guilty of flagrant political bias against Her Majesty's Opposition and its elected leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Her almost nightly reports have an obviously right-wing agenda, consist of right-wing propaganda, her own opinions, her own presumptions, her own projections and very seldom based on events or what anybody has said or done.

It is the duty of the BBC to remain impartial and fair in its reporting. The 38 Degrees petition was removed because of allegations of sexist comments made by some of the persons signing it. This is an act of censorship.

The appropriate thing to do would have been to remove the offending comments of which I personally saw none. This is a list of the comments made by people who signed the original petition.

Please support our petition to make sure that the reputation of the BBC remains intact and that it can be again a source of news and analysis which is fair and objective, rather than damaging and negative. 

Please refrain from vulgar or sexist language if you wish to comment. Please only vote once.
